There were some bad papers presented
to the Examining Board at the last ex-.
animation. It is passing strange that
some persons who spell so poorly and
write SO badly would think of trying to
teach school. Having made that asser-
ton, it gives us pleasure to say that Prof.
Ligon considered Mr.. Mitchells paper
the finest ever presented to our Board.
Mr.. Mitchell is teaching at Shady Grove,
and is giving entire satisfaction to trus-
tees and patrons. 1t is worthy of men
ton, too, that the next best paper was
presented by young lady who has never
been taught in any other than the public
schools of this county. With her own
hands that young lady and her mother
have supported an invalid father and
seven younger brothers and sisters, Her
education was gotten by snatches when
she could be spared from the field. We
are always ready to lift our hat to any
lady, but it gives us peculiar pleasure to
/, bare our headin the presence of a woman
Of such sterling worth as this. This
young woman SBho is as modest as she is
intellectual, dsssrges the success. she has
achieved. Children will be safe in her

1883, there were 1,100 commitments

in this rapid increase of crime the native
population is just as bad as the foreign
Then, again, look at the divorces-a
class of statistics from which the foreign
element is eliminated. In 1863 there
was but one divorce to 3,194 persons. In
1880 there was one to 1857. In 1886
there was one to 1887. In the last ten
years divorces have increased more than
twice as rapidly as marriages, and more
than three times as rapidly as popula.

liberal view of the question can but
awaken concern for the permanence Of
social order and the stability of public
virtue.
In Massachusetts, there was in 1873;
one divorce to every thirty.four maria
ges, and the ratio increasing every year,
In Rhode Island, one to fourteen and in
Connecticut one to eleven.
But the number of divorces does moi
represent half the number of unhappy
marriages or broken marriage vows, cases
that do not get into the courts, and hence
it can be safely estimated that no more
than eight families in ten have

A Secret Glue B sing Hunted Down by the
Detectives.
The Cleveland Leader says q few days
may suffice to develop some startling
facts In connection with the RaVenna
rescue. A lengthy conference of police
officials was held last night, and tndi-
cations point toward the fact that a very
important clue has been unearthed. II
was obtained from q very authentic
source, and Superintendent Schmitt
seems to place great deal Of confidence
In the latest information received. De.
tectivas were sent In several d.
reCtlons, and they all refused to dlvulgs
the least particle Of information in re.
gard to their mission. Something may
drop before twenty.fOur hours" said
one, "sud 1t may not be for q week; but
we have received some very startling
information" The police have come to
regard reporters as species of human
beings to be Stunned, and hardly word
of information In reference to the Hull
ligsn murder can be obtained by talk

Ing the fact that the detectives scoffAd
at Margery RObins0n's story, when
asked their opinion of 1t they place more
reliance In 1t than they will admit. A
new circular, containing descriptions
Of the supposed murderers, will soon be
issued, and, strange as 1t may seem,
these descriptions resemble very closely
those given by Margery Robinson. A
telegram was received from Detective
s. A. Campbell. Of WellstOn, Ohio,
which stated that he had reason to be-
